Hi everybody!

@art128's contents that were formerly uploaded to SC4Devotion LEX then onto a third party cloud drive, now have become officially available on SC4Evermore.
Check out the Art128 Contents

Most of the contents have been updated so it is highly recommended to run the cleanitol with the installer and remove any previous versions from your plugins.
Optionally in the ~Documents folder in the main ZIP you can find a collective/master and by using either the newer nos.17's SC4 Cleanitol or the older BSC Cleanitol tool you can search and remove old and outdated versions of these files.

(etc.)
 

Oh GREAT ! I have some of these, but ... OOOOOOH,. Great job, THANK YOU !

Rail related Gray shadow bug !

Very excited about tthe sunken bridge skin tonight had a look at very pleased. What I aswell noticed with the recent FAR station are some transparent textures I believe giving a shadow llike apearance ?

The FAR station !

Anyone know what issue this is ?

Sincerely yours,

Kschmidt

This looks quite weird indeed! I play with "low" shadows settings, so obviously didn't notice anything. However if this was related to some S3D bug you would see the same happening with all my other models. I'll try to play with different shadow settings to see if I get the same. 

UPDATE: I experimented a bit and yes, that shadow bug I wasn't aware of happens with all S3D models -can't believe no one let me know before? There is a solution to it, which consists in changing the "isgroundmodel" property to "0", in which case though my models will project no shadow at all. In order to do this I would have to revise most of my uploads, which is something I'm willing to do if enough people are troubled by this issue too.

Key point: this bug only happens if you set the shadows to "high". If you set them to "medium" you'll still get the nice tree shadows but the S3D-related bug will disappear. Hope this helps. If anyone has more info on this surprising feature, I'll be all ears.

So, a little further along. This is roughly my vision for the lot, for my use. All the pieces will be rendered individually in 90 and 45 degrees.

Hi .. What is the purpose of such wooden tanks? (nice texture! by the way!) .. beer ;-) !?

[jestarr 3,423]

@hugues aroux They're oak brine vats used to make dill pickles in former times. There used to be special railcars that the vats were loaded on for shipping to the bottler.  They're done much differently now.

I am not sure about this specific case, but in Spain we use similar wooden tanks for wine:

Heh... lovely to see some of my lots in game after 6 years...  Nice rail/GLR networks all around in your cities. Great work!

That reminds me that in the never ending process of custom content restorations I've never been able to finish and release the 4th GLR stations pack and further rail related megacomplex stations... I already showed these images a few times over the years in this thread. These are one of those, that I actually want to release and mostly playing with eventually. 

WIP names.

Great Sicily

Piazza Fontana

WMP Art Deco NeoNoir Stations (the left side one used to be a relot for a city that I started but never went far enough)

Old Port Station (same city different location)

New Port Station (I was experimenting with the concept)

Multi-level Grand Central concept

aaaand many more...

The hotel was a slip of the finger, but I decided to run with it.

Now I just wish there was a funicular with a middle station, like the one in Santiago, because I could actually build stuff on the less steep parts of that hillside.

Work has been carried out in recent weeks. The general idea has been planted. Now it needs to be fleshed out and brought to life.

A more general view of the tile's progress.... Still in its infancy after all

Hinterulmingen, my region's Top 1 at brewing certain beverages, seeking to be partner village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, and one of my most scattered villages, now featured in the latest entry of my CJ. Hope you like it.

My current SC4 obsession is to curate neighborhoods by individual buildings to create distinct places, zoom in to see the relevant street names. This is what you see here:

• Dense massing marks one side of the Main Street
• And large landscaped lots on the other side
• This is intended to create an imposing entrance to the city
• Behind is the Major League Stadium where a square is formed at the stadium entrance
• On one corner there is the Landry Co. building, imagined as a bar for fans to go to before/after
• On another is the 'Small Shops' to enclose the square
• Beside the stadium there is the hotel strip, which serves the stadium
• And also the downtown airport
• At the top of the Main Street is Airport Way, the gateway to the city
• The Grand Hotel, is located at the intersection of these two roads
• As the tallest building it commands views of the stadium and of the planes landing and taking off at the airport
• And has a commanding presence over the gateway itself
• Beside is the Grand Hotel is a Chez Eyler, conveniently located to serve the $$$ guests

No prizes for guessing the name of the city! XD

For next steps, I am planning to add some motels to the airport perimeter road, repurpose the car dealerships as car rental businesses, drop in a diner and lastly form a cluster of warehouses.

I finally learned how to do some basic modding. I'll probably release all 4 substations tomorrow.

Hi everybody!

Automata times!!!!

In the past couple of days I started cleaning up @vester_DK's different automata sets for restoration on SC4Evermore. Some of them will arrive in combined packages, while others will come as standalone uploads. The combined packages will use the "SC4D LEX Legacy - [...]" "brand" and the standalone ones are coming as "BSC VDK [...]". The description (or for the standalone ones the name) will clearly state which packs have been included. 

Bear in mind that due to first the Project ZIP efforts, then the SC4D LEX Restoration efforts in order to make the folder structure more unified the original install location (VDK Automatas BSC) and the file names have been changed. There are cleanitol scrips for each pack in the usual ~Documents/Prop-Texture Catalogue Index and Cleanitol folders. While the original  file names did not state which pack they belong to, the new names have this kind of designation.

It is very important that these automata sets are replacements of the maxis default automatas (mostly) and as such you can ONLY USE ONE of these at a time (That means use ONLY ONE SET and from that one set ONLY ONE Replacement mod). There are additional automatas, but read the description and install instruction how to install them. NOT all of them has the same instruction and mostly you must not mix additional automatas from different packs. 

SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC VDK Mods Ferries

BSC VDK Train Mods Vol 01 - GLR Tram Mod Vol01

BSC VDK Train Mods Vol 02 - GLR Tram Mod Vol02

BSC VDK Train Mods Vol 03 - GLR Tram Mod Vol03

BSC VDK Train Mods Vol 04 - GLR Tram Mod Vol04

 

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I was having a little fun making a test city mostly to mod and test @debussyman's WZ Recreation: Gare Avenue Foch and also testing a building that I'm lotting and modding for @Krio - it's gonna be called TG Krio Elanto HQ (growable and a special Co$$$ Plop with subway access). 

Random transport route test with dragable pedmalls, GLR stations (with one of VDK's GLR Automata on the tracks) and the Gare Ave Foch subway station. 

Overal view of this test city.

The Target and Walmart are now finished, and tested. They all have nightlighting too! There will be two more, a Costco and a Whole Foods. 14 parking garages in total.

[Null 45 3,116]

It took me a while to get the patch working, but once I did it confirmed my theory about where the 'build all styles at once' bug was located. As you can see in the above image, that feature now works as intended.
